Great sign again guys! I love that Orioles beer ad and the Lenny Wilkens Carnation ad. I always thought it was a shame and BS that Seattle lost the Sonics and have been rooting for the city to get a basketball team back. I thought when the Kings were threatening to leave Sacramento it would have been a fit for Seattle since they are in Kings County and they could have kept the name if they wished.

Real estate is scarce on the walls...

Never seen those last two before.... terrific images.

And the McCormick Chesterfield Sign is fantastic :D

LA Angels
 

Here's a fun first year American League LA Angels Falstaff promo piece. Love the movable arms, legs and head.

For a long time, I considered buying that on ebay....even though I will forever hate the Angels for 2002! :mad:

Can't forget a piece that I waited up for half way through the night to make sure I won:rolleyes:

I love the 1961 Angel's promo piece. I've never seen it before.
Very cool!

As a Yankees fan this was always one of my favorites.

This is really neat. What size is it?

Thanks Michael, its approximately 12" x 24"

Jason...

The Mel Allen Die-cut Sign is really nifty. Is it simply advertising Yankee Tickets, or a brand of Beer? I would think the latter, but don't see any Brand Name or Logo. Great looking piece, either way!

The 3 rings is the logo for Ballantine Beer, long time sponsor of Yankees games.

Great looking piece!

Yup. Ballantine beer. I wanted to have it signed when he was still alive, but never had an opportunity. I have another large Ballantine sign for the Yankees, but it is more generic.

Wow... If that particular piece was made in this day and age, they would've played up the brand much more. I love the subtlety of it, as compared to the hard-hitting "in your face" advertising of today. Very classy!

Here is Campy also advertising Ballantine Beer

American Cancer
 

Bring in the new era of anti-smoking. Small American Cancer Society sign.

Thanks for the info. Love the graphics on that.

A Few More

Bob those bottles and ad piece are amazing. Thank you for sharing. Your eye for quality and passion for collecting are inspiring.

Thanks
 

Thanks Mike and all, your comments are very kind.

Great Broadside
 

Ripken
 

More of a modern advertising sign for the 1997 Pinnacle baseball cards.

You got it Carlton, and Thank You!.... I believe the "Fultons" are the Fultons Base Ball Club from Fulton Illinois that originated in 1867. They are the only Fultons I can find. I have yet to find any team named the "Jacksons". The piece came from a Memory Lane auction back in January.

Good one
 

Again, not sports but advertising nonetheless (and quite possibly the only one known to exist)....

Great signs everyone. As a Yankees fan, I am digging that Mel Allen ad for Ballentine. I never knew Campy had a show during Yankees telecasts.

Recent pick-up

Sweet team USA piece!

Mike

Mike,
I was working at the local grocery store in the early 1980's and remember putting it up on the beer display. A month later the manager told me to take it home. Been thinking about parting with it.
Jim

Wow! Really like the Starcal AS baseball decal ad. Very, very nice addition!

The Equitable
 

This is The Equitable Life Insurance Society poster ad. I know they have other players included in these posters like Yogi Berra and Wilt Chamberlain. I'm sure there are others, but the Brooks is my favorite. I like the quote, "Brooks! There's nobody else exactly like him."

Nice Brooks

In 1992 at the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore, they had a Cal Ripken Jr. exhibit. This Broadside was used at the MARC Train Stations

I had a full size Pepsi Sammy Sosa standup....put it on ebay during Sosa's run...couldn't get 20 bucks for it! :p

Ripken/Ruth
 

I always enjoy visiting The Babe Ruth Museum when I'm in MD. I really like the broadside from the exhibit; makes for a very nice display piece.

Thanks Mark; I happened to know one of the directors there and they had a couple left over, so I was able to secure an un-used one.

Keeping with that Orioles theme, here is fairly large Ripken ad piece from Oakley Sunglasses (circa 1998)

Super Joe
 

A Super Joe Charboneau ad (and punk rock tribute record as a bonus).

Some beautiful ads guys.

Mike

Sweet Caporal
 

Glad to have won this today

That Oakley Ripken looks loooong. What size is that thing?!? Love the quote; that's even better then the quote on the Brooks piece. Keep 'em coming. Love it!

Ad
 

Both of those are nice!! Thanks for sharing.

WOW! What size is the Sweet Caporal? What a GREAT pickup.

Thanks Mark, it's 14" high by 6" wide

Crown
 

My personal favorite ad piece.

Brooks
 

That B Robby Crown ad poster is fantastic. Always fun to see something great you've never seen before. Thanks!

Victor Sign
 

Victor Base Ball Supplies Sign. I had never seen this sign before I bought it and haven't ever seen another one since. The top pic is of the sign I have and the bottom is a pic of supply catalogue. (Note the "For Sale Here" on sign pic depicting it as sign to be displayed in the athletic store.) Unfortunately it has been cut down as you can see and was found behind a framed picture. It's a shame it was cut but a miracle it was even found. This will be my next restoration project whenever my Spalding sign is completed. Pics to follow later when they are both done :)

Damn Mark your killing me with those Robinson pieces. Really like the Rawlings poster. I've never seen that before.

+1

Beautiful Brooks piece!

B. Robby
 

Appreciate the compliments. The Rawlings piece is also one of my favorites along with the Crown gas. They both make for nice display pieces. They're not as rare as some of these awesome ad pieces that are being shared in this thread, but still pretty cool.

I'm ready to see the Spalding sign once restored; think that sign would be a centerpiece in any collection. I do have an ad banner type item, which is for Crown as well, that I'd like to get cleaned or freshened up, but I know little about the process to get this accomplished. It has some water stains from probably being displayed outside.

A few more. The Atlantic gas sign is in rough shape but I have never seen one like it. It says "Triple Play of Spring".

congrats
 

WOW what a find!!!!!!

Yankees
 

Mike,

Have you picked up anything related to Yankees advertising signs/posters? They're definitely great items for displaying in a room. With collecting Orioles there are some fakes/reprints that you have to be aware of, but with the Yankees I'm sure there are much more individuals trying to deceive since the collectible market for your team is much greater.

Would like to see your progress as you go.

Good morning Mark,

I do not have any Yankee piecec just yet. I have my eye on a few on eBay as we speak. Im really enjoying what everyone is posting and its giving me an idea what I'm aiming for, which is the era I started watching in the late 70s to 80s. Of course, if I can find a piece thag fits my budget earlier than that time frame I'd be all over it. Of course, any piece I pick up I will post pics here. Thanks for askimg sir!

Mike

Ad collections
 

Bob... can't be better collections of base ball/baseball related advertising out there, can there be?

By the way I've personally never seen, in person, the Tuxedo ads before, like the Mathewson, McGraw and Johnson you pictured; what size are those pieces?

Someone say Yankees? ;)

Yankees
 

No one said "Yankees"... wait, that was me. I can be an idiot at times ;)

By the way, such a cool Rizzuto ad.

Lol. Just doing my part to not let this thread die

You have so many awesome pieces this thread will never go away. I'm about out though 😔; so if it were up to me there would be a quick death. Try and find some vintage Orioles signs in you quest for additions to your terrific advertising collection.

Thank you Mark.:) Very kind of you to say. I'm trying to pace my own self so I don't run out of things to show. Honest to God, I don't any issues with Baltimore Oriole advertising but for me it's just not old enough. Therefore, if I ever run across any you can count on me to give you a chance at it :)

Orioles
 

Man, 1901 isn't old enough for you ;) Now I'm counting on you! :D

Orioles
 

The Orioles go back in the 1800's as well, but I won't even hardly mention the three consecutive first place team of 1894 thru 1896 and the Temple Cup championship in 1896 and 1897 :)

You do have a good point. When I think Orioles for some reason I assume 1960s-1970s:rolleyes: Having said that I did go after a Temple Cup Print in last REA auction but came up short.

Is it to late to rescind my offer of keeping you in mind for Orioles advertising? :D

Orioles
 

Ha! Nope; your a man of your word ;)

I would love to have some Orioles items from that era of baseball, but so far over the years have come up short. I also want to eventually pick up some Baltimore negro league items as well to display.

Thanks Mark, there are several collectors out there that have superior collections to mine believe it or not.

The tuxedo ads roughly 14 x 20

Bob,

Must be some fantastic collections out there. Yours is awesome as well!

Thanks for the information on the size of the Tuxedo pieces. Those are some of my favorites.

Hey guys, here's a few.......

I'm worried I'm gonna short out my keyboard with drool.

Man, some great vintage signs posted recently. Love that 1976 Orioles schedule poster & the Phil Rizzuto Wheaties ad. Gorgeous pieces!

Mike

I am really enjoying this thread. I really enjoy advertisements with a baseball tie-in. Everyone has some awesome and unique material in their respective collections. I wish that I had deeper pockets to acquire some of the material!

Here is one item from my collection.

Wheaties comic book ads from the 1950's. I asked each player to please add the "Spark up" inscription. Spark Up - too funny!
